I look forward to the Dec BOTM picks because they typically include a book with an earlier publishing date. I feel like it must be their one that got away so I‘m compelled to select and support the idea that earlier works are new if you are yet to read them. This was fun to read (even if 6 months late) because I really didn‘t know what direction the lives of Nell or Vian/Van would take at each 5-year increment. 👇
